California FFA officials are scrambling to reproduce material for the upcoming FFA Leadership Conference after a trailer loaded with equipment was stolen in the early hours Wednesday morning.

California FFA posted a screenshot photo on Facebook of the security footage that shows a truck making off with the organization's trailer. Since then, the post has been shared more than 6,000 times.

"Please be on the lookout for [a] white Wells Cargo Trailer, license plate number 4KJ1127 that was stolen from the California FFA Center last night," according to the post. "It contains awards, merchandise and all our registration materials for the 7,000 FFA members who are about to experience the State FFA Leadership Conference."

Hundreds of FFA students from the Central Valley are expected to make the trip to Anaheim. This is the first year the convention will not be held at Fresno's Selland Arena, the longstanding location of the annual event.

Authorities say thieves also made off with 8,000 Disneyland tickets from the youth agricultural education organization. The group's office is in the city of Galt, south of Sacramento.

Officials say security footage shows a dark pickup truck backing up to the trailer and driving it away.

The trailer was also loaded with audio and visual equipment for use at the annual leadership conference in Anaheim, which kicks off on Sunday.

"With ag teachers, it's like an extended family. We've all band together in this time of need to help each other out," Mederos said. "Chapters have been donating materials and equipment. We want to make sure this is a positive experience for students to come together as a family and make sure they get the experience they deserve."

Nearly 50 students from Tulare FFA will attend the conference this year, Mederos said. Dozens more will join from Visalia, Porterville and outlying areas of the county.

As a result, Sheriff Mike Boudreaux says he will donate $1,000 to the state FFA program to help ease the pain from the theft.

"Our hearts go out to these children who have put so much time and effort into promoting and working in agriculture only to have thieves ruin what is supposed to be a positive event," he said. "I support ag and students from across the Valley and the state."

The trailer was still missing Thursday afternoon, FFA officials stated in a Facebook post.

"We are humbled and grateful for the outpouring of support in light of yesterday’s unfortunate incident. At this time, the trailer and its contents are still missing," the post stated. "However, the California FFA staff and a number of partners, have been working feverishly to reproduce and replicate the items that went missing. It's everyone's goal to minimize the effect felt by our students."

The highway patrol is asking for the public’s help in finding the trailer and warning people to be cautious when purchasing Disneyland tickets from unknown sources.
